The Black & White Collection

The Black & White Collection (Emmett Sparling) — moody monochrome for your travel shots

The gist: A one-click way to get travel photographer Emmett Sparling's signature moody monochrome look on portraits, landscapes, and lifestyle shots without hand-tuning tone curves.

• Genre range: built to work across portraits, landscapes, and lifestyle images — useful for a nomad shooting everything from mountain vistas to street portraits on the same trip.
• Multiple monochrome looks: the pack includes a mix of high-quality B&W variations rather than a single flat filter, so you can match contrast/grain to the scene.
• Creator pedigree: Sparling is a Vancouver-based nature and portrait photographer whose presets are drawn from his own Instagram editing workflow.
• Format: Lightroom preset pack — apply and tweak sliders from there, works with desktop Lightroom (check listing for mobile/DNG compatibility before buying).

FilterGrade, which distributes Sparling's preset packs alongside his own store, lists his work as travel/nature-photography-oriented Lightroom presets built for both landscape and portrait genres.

Best for: travelers who shoot a mix of landscapes and portraits and want a consistent B&W edit across a gallery. Skip it if: you already have a custom monochrome workflow or shoot exclusively in color for your blog/social feed. Runs ~$19.99 — check the current price before buying.
